So to find out what the multilib flag does, you would type euse -i multilib

Euse is part of the gentoolkit package, so you'll need to emerge that if you haven't already (emerge -uDNav gentoolkit).

One way to fix the dreaded C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check error:

Update your active gcc version with a binary from tinderbox, as explained above. To see which gcc version that's installed on your machine the system is using as the default, type gcc-config -l. (That's an L for list.)

Make sure that gcc has the cxx USE flag enabled (in your /etc/portage/package.use or make.conf), so that it will build with support for C++ and won't break when rebuilt. (Ask me how I learned that flag was needed. Yeah. *vbg*)

Rebuild gcc (emerge -uDNav gcc).

Typing emerge --info --verbose $package will tell you the system info and all the USE flags a package was built with, so you can see if the flags you needed enabled/disabled are.

Older snapshots of portage are available if you are trying to update an older system that hasn't been updated in a while.

Logically, I should have been able to do it this way, I thought, at least according to the docs. But instead it was giving me this error: TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class. (Uh, ok.) After a bit of searching, I eventually found this comment, and realized I must be trying to instantiate a form that the admin would instantiate automatically, had already been instantiated, or something like that pharmacieviagra.com.

After some more searching, I found the answer on the way to do what I needed here:

To add a link to an admin page on the user-side of your django site, you can use the named url patterns. (Seems like a simple and fairly straightforward thing to want to do, but I frequently find that things are not so simply found in most open source docs, nor are the examples always useful. But my usual open source docs rant is for another day. *g*)

It took a bit of digging, but I finally found that the admin url pattern options are listed here. From that, I was able to figure out that if I wanted to link to the edit (change action) page (parameter) for an article (model) in the app article, the pattern was:

{{ app_label }}_{{ model_name }}_action [parameters]

The namespace for the admin is, of course, admin, so putting that together using the {% url %} template tag, you get:

Of course, I think every day should be Earth Day. If you make just one change today to change your impact on the world around you, that'd be a wonderful thing. *vbg*

Try something simple, one step at a time:

Use reusable bags every time you go to the store–any store: grocery, book, craft, etc. Tip: after you've used your bags to haul things into the house, immediately take them back out to your car or put them back in something that's always with you so you'll have them the next time you shop and don't fall back on the excuse that you forgot to bring them with you. In no time at all, it'll be second nature to grab the bags before you enter a store. :)

Take your reusable cup with you and refill it rather than using disposable cups.
